Historicbuildings
[edit | edit source]In Nettlestead there are two manors:
The Chace
[edit | edit source]The original manor belonged to the Earls of Richmond; passed to Peter II, Count of Savoy, Robert de Tiptoft, the Despencers and the Wentworths; and gave to the last the title of Baron. Nettlestead Hall (the Chace) was the Manor-house which retains an ancient gateway, bearing the arms of the Wentworths. From the 13th to the 16th centuries the Nettlestead families were patrons of the house of friars minor at Ipswich.
High Hall

Located to the north-west of Ipswich and 11 miles from Stowmarket, in 2005 its population was 90.[1]
